Documentary on Liam Gallagher to screen at Cannes Film Festival

LOS ANGELES, May 6: A new documentary based on the life of rocker Liam Gallagher  will be screened at the Cannes Film Festival.
The film “Liam Gallagher: As It Was”, which is currently in production, narrates the “emotional story of how one of the greatest rock frontmen went from the dizzying heights of his champagne supernova years in Oasis to living on the edge ostracised lost in the musical wilderness of boredom, booze and bitter legal battles”, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
It will be directed by Charlie Lightening, who has worked with Gallagher previously on Beady Eye videos and on his video for “Chinatown”.
“‘As It Was’ is a documentary about my musical comeback. It covers the writing and recording of my first solo album, right through to playing it live for the first time in my hometown of Manchester and around the world,” Gallagher said in a statement.
The 45-year-old musician recently released his first solo album, ‘As You Were’ and he is all set to embark on a brief solo North America tour later this month. (PTI)
